“[T]he evidence at trial overwhelmingly established that Martoma received material, nonpublic information,” prosecutors, in a 36-page memo, told the trial judge. Martoma, a former portfolio manager at Steve Cohen’s SAC Capital Advisors hedge fund, asked the judge in February to reverse his conviction or toss the verdict and order a new trial. A federal court jury found Martoma guilty of masterminding the most lucrative insider-trading trade ever — $275 million in profits and averted losses. Martoma’s lawyers argued that information about his being kicked out of Harvard Law School tainted the trial. Prosecutors maintain there was no evidence the jury was aware that Martoma forged his college transcripts and got booted from the Ivy League school.

I was going to make a point that the transcript history should have been excluded as it was more prejudicial than probative to the charges he was facing, but that really is a nice coat. Thank you for referencing it.

The more frequently you monitor your portfolio, the more likely you are to observe a loss. This is likely to cause short-sighted decisions and could hurt your investment performance. If you are checking your portfolio more than once per quarter, you’re doing it too much.
